AdventHealth North Pinellas is a non-profit hospital campus in Tarpon Springs, Florida, United States.

Before merging the hospital had been in debt and owed over $31 million, due to this Standard & Poor's gave it a "junk bond level".

[2] Beginning in 1947, the foundation started paying a 5-year lease for $1 with Tarpon Springs, while the city maintained the hospital and paid its utility bills worth a total of $3,000 to $12,000 a year.

[2] In 1968, the foundation agreed to pay the hospital's water and sewer bills, it also asked Tarpon Springs to put in a lawn sprinkling system for $1,750.

[2] In early December 1994, Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital announced that it signed a letter to become a partner with Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation.

[4] In late January, at a special meeting with the city commission government some residents of Tarpon Springs were not persuaded of the partnership with Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation .

[6] In early April, the city commission government terminated the partnership that Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital wanted with Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corporation with a 4-to-1 vote.

[7] Missing at the meeting were administrators from the hospital network, the foundation's board members and the lawyers for both organizations.

[7] The reason why the city commission government terminated the partnership was, because they preferred Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital to be part of a not-for-profit instead of a for-profit corporate giant.

[24][25] In early November, the city commission government supported leasing Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital to Choice Health Alliance for thirty years.

[28] In late March, some on the city commission government were alarmed by the slow negotiating with Choice Health Alliance, they were afraid that it could cause Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital to close.

[30][31] Choice Health Alliance had wanted to refinance the bonds of Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital.

The other six would be made up of one medical employee from Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital and five residents from Tarpon Springs or the surrounding communities.

[32] In early June, the city commission government supported leasing Helen Ellis Memorial to University Community Hospital for 40 years.

[39][40] In early October 2003, Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital wanted to sell a walk-in clinic which it owned in Holiday, Florida on U.S. Route 19.

[42] In early March 2004, at 8:00PM a fire start in a second floor laboratory at Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital.

[46][47][48] In early March 2008, voters approved the sale of the land by Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital by 1,960 to 505.

[54] This forced a referendum on the land owned by the Tarpon Springs Hospital Foundation again in late January 2012.

[55] In late February 2012, it was suggested to the city commission government that the name should be changed to Florida Hospital North Pinellas.

[1] In early August 2018, an official from Adventist Health System met with the city commission government of Tarpon Springs asking to extend the lease of the hospital from 2040 to 2070.

[59][60] In early January, the da Vinci Xi was used for the first time at AdventHealth North Pinellas to perform a gallbladder surgery.

[63][65] The hospital also had $20 million in renovations done to its laboratory, lobby and exterior façade to make it resistant to a Category 4 hurricane.

[68] In a survey done in 2022, the majority of hospitals in Florida including AdventHealth North Pinellas had failed to comply with the new law.

[76] The city and the Health Facilities Authority asked to have the lawsuits dismissed, but the sixth circuit court Judge Crocket Farnell rejected their request.

[75] In late October 1996, Judge Crocket Farnell ruled in favour of the foundation, denying the city's request for the Tarpon Springs Hospital Foundation to pay the disputed $12,000 fee [77] In October 1997, the city asked the Florida Attorney General for their opinion on the ongoing feud.

[76][82] In early September 1998, the judge heard the appeals from the involved parties,[82] and, by the end of the month, he reversed his prior decision, due to the new law, ruling in favour of the hospital foundation.

[83] The city and the hospital both accepted this verdict, and the feud ended; at a total cost of $4 million in attorney fees.

[83] In early May 1999, a Leon County, Florida judge denied the St. Petersburg Times request to see Helen Ellis Memorial Hospital's records.
